What kind of auras does the locker hide?

[Captain Weegee]

So...supposedly the lockers hide the aura of survivors if you hide in them, also makes survivors blind for all other auras. I know it works well with BBQ!

Im just wondering because it seems that Legion can see you through the locker while hes using his "Feral Frenzy" ability. Why is that so? (Bug or intended)

And what perks/abilities also ignores the this aura hiding mechanic?

My brother mains Legion and he can see people in lockers when in feral fenzy because of killer instinct.

Lockers ignore all aura reading perks on both sides. The only thing you cannot defend against is Infectious Fright and Killer Instinct. Legion is bad enough as a killer, so maybe the devs are giving them pity? IDK but yes it is only Legion's killer instinct that can track anyone.

Legion's power is not an aura read, nothing blocks his thing unless you are out of the terror radius.

It also does not defend against Rancor.

Just Auras. Killer Instinct and the bubble notfication from Rancor aren't auras so you can't hide from them.

Basically there are three types of effects that reveal survivors' locations to a killer, and in most cases perk, power and addon descriptions are very reliably refer to them with these terms:

1/ AURA READING. That's what BBQ, Bitter Murmur and a lot more perks and addons do. It's when the killer can see one or more survivors' shape in red for a few seconds, regardless of obstacles. It is the most accurate, since you can see a survivor moving, interacting or staying put for the duration. Can always be countered by going into a locker or by Distortion.

2/ LOCATION. Survivors screaming because of Madness or Infectious Fright, and survivors revealed by Rancor, I think only these three are referred to as their "locations revealed" . Less accurate: killer sees a notification bubble where the survivor is, and it stays for a few seconds, but unlike with aura reading, they cannot see them, only their location at the moment the effect triggers. So they have no way of telling which way the survivor is moving. Can NOT be countered by either lockers or Distortion.

3/ HEARTBEAT/KILLER INSTINCT. Not to be mistaken with Killer's heartbeat, which is another name for the Terror Radius. Survivor heartbeat can be seen by a Legion after successfully putting the Deep Wound effect on someone, and then the Demogorgon's power also reveals survivors this way. It is a unique visual effect, popping up for a moment about every second. It can help with actually tracking a survivor's movement and direction, but less accurately than aura reading. Distance is also a little trickier to assess. Can NOT be countered by either lockers or Distortion.

Hope it helps :)

Aaaaaalso, if the demogorgon has a abyssal portal active right next to a locker it WILL show your heartbeat in the locker lmao. Source: I found this out while playing as him and got a hilarious locker grab
Edit: Darn, potato beat me to it.
